Rock Hill, SC — Tax District Backed

April 2015

Rock Hill is just 23 miles southwest of Charlotte, N.C., just across
the South Carolina state line and it's the site of a proposal for a
Knowledge Park development.

A developer says a streetcar line would be
the best way to link the project to downtown Rock Hill, according to
the heraldonline.com site. A leadership group met Wednesday to discuss
transportation options. "Much of the focus, though, was on the
benefits of a permanent rail line and the need for Winthrop University
to embrace the project."

HDR consulting of Charlotte is updating
information about transit for the 23-acre Knowledge Park site near the
university. "It is updating that study with more specific information
on what’s planned for the Bleachery site, as well as information on
cities which have tried a streetcar line as an economic development
tool."
